Nodal Reaction forces at unconstrained nodes
Hi there,
Is there any way to output the reaction forces at each node at the level of the element?
Effectively, can we output the RHS (f_im) of the element matrix:
E_imjn*u_jn = f_im
Where E_imjn: Element stiffness matrix, u_jn: Displacements, f_im: Forces
at the end of each converged quasi-Newton iteration?
I tried specifying the reaction forces as an output to the log file, but it only gives me the reaction forces for the nodes where I have a prescribed displacement.
Is there a way to get the forces at all nodes?
Regards
